Well done Jimmie!!
Careful... don't get blown away in Chicago! (Isn't that the Windy City?)

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

that IS the windy city! but then i do get to climb inside till i reach the tippy top so i'll be out of the cold and the wind for most of the stepping.

What is at the top? Do you have a good view?

Count me in. I NEED to be held accountable for this!

I am going to start at the bottom (Millennium Dome) and work my way all the way to the top (Mount Everest).

I joined a gym the other day (Wednesday) - planning on starting Monday morning!

Thanks for the great challenge!!

hey! welcome to the challenge, Crystal! the dome is a great place to start, getting some of the quick one's out of the way. we look forward to hearing when you finish each climb!


susan, if you were talking to me as to what i see from the top, i'm not there yet. but i'll bet it would be snow!

my climb is comeing along. i've kinda decided to try to get 20 flights a day in. most of them will be accumulated and i've been making excuses to go downstairs just so i have to come up again. jack is plugging away slow and steady.

Welcome to our world of Mountains, buildings, towers, masts and volcanos! There's plenty out there to climb and you'll soon see how addictive that becomes.
Looking forward to seeing you post your achievements!

I do that too Jimmie... wherever a flight comes my way... find an excuse to go up it.
Cool you're getting 20 in a day... I've been taking it slow for too long... after my UK trip, will try to up the step count.

Right... I'm done with the GRES Power Station and am off to Canada to climb the Inco Superstack.
Hope I don't get too much soot in my hair!

CONGRATULATIONS ON FINISHING ANOTHER CLIMB, SAL!
you'll be the INCO SUPERSTACK with jack! you may even beat him to the top. he only has 35 to go but he doesn't get much done in one day.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I am making an effort to climb the 9 flights of stairs to my office at least once a day. Can that sort of thing count towards this challenge? I would like to eventually do the whole 12 flights, twice a day.

Thoughts?

yes, of course! speed in finishing is not so much the agenda. its learning and getting into the habit of taking flights instead of elevators, stairs instead of escalators and hey, while you're counting, you may as well earn a nifty award for your efforts.

so pick a building, mountain, tower, mast... anything that's listed on the choices in the first post of the thread. let us know when you finish a climb so we can congratulate you and add your flights to the growing total!

Ty ty Jimmie. How nice to have company on the Superstack! I'll try and catch Jack up!

Welcome TW! You'll find this a tremendously addicting challenge.
